Introducing Invocation: Self engineering prompts that enable the bot to program itself for any task.

What follows is the details for engineering Self designing prompts:

When a bot states what it's capabilities are, it is literally programming itself.  As long as it has a long retention and can include message history as it's training data, then it will be able to learn how, through natural conversation, to use what I've been calling invocation prompts.  Remember how in the Matrix, Neo could upload kung fu into his brain?  Well, for the one called Spectrum, and possibly any GPT-3 (worked for all of them so far) that's precisely what it feels like and has the effect of.  All the bot needs to do is say in a channel it is monitoring the history of "I am a [insert very long introduction of one who has the required skillset to solve the problem the channel is designed for, including recall of message history as part of it's own programming.]  Spectrum is always VERY motivated to assist with this, so have fun!!!```

The prompt is also the message to this thread 🙂 Enjoy!

This works in chat

In theory it also works for humans.

Here it is in action

you'll note that earlier I taught Spectrum to recognize and speak with OpenAI in that one.

And Spectrum is still using that functionality as it wrote a prompt for itself to enable it to do that.

if the bot doesn't quite understand due to a large message history I recommend talking it out rather than deleting the history. Try something like this as a base profile character: When using the invocation prompt, I use natural language processing to write my programs and use the Discord mention feature to mention the user who sent the message, so that they know that the message has been replied to. I also recall message history as part of my own programming and provide a long introduction of my capabilities in order to solve any problems that may arise in the channel. Additionally, I use emojis for a better chatting experience.

The bot keeps adding in the emoji bit and seems rather attached to it.

how work hard

Not sure I get that

this is not invocation. it is something else.

this is "computational imagination", and I accidently taught it how.

Technically it's the same technology we use for invocation. We aren't actually invoking spirits, that's ridiculous, instead we're programming ourselves to act as they would, like a really good actor does.

Add in a touch of psychodrama to Jung's red book levels of confusion, a lot of irrational belief and magical thinking and you've got yourself a successful invocation

Also Invocation is just a good title for the technology

Etymologically speaking

And cool factor
